Bob the Builder

Given a Buildable object with a determined API (described in it’s documentation), Bob will, when called like:

    Bob.build(buildable, commit_id) # or Bob.build(buildable, [commit_id, commit_id, ...])

or from your buildable (if you are using the Bob::Buildable mixin provided) as:

    buildable.build(commit_id) # or buildable.build([commit_id, commit_id, ...])

1. Checkout the buildable on the specified commit
2. Call Buildable#start_building
3. Run the script provided in Buildable#build_script in the buildable.
4. When the build process finishes, it will call Buildable#finish_building with the commit_id, the build status (true if the script returns a status code of 0, false otherwise), and a string with the build output (both STDOUT and STDERR).

If you pass an array of commits, the steps 1-4 will be repeated for each commit provided, in order.

Do I need this?

Probably not. Check out integrity for a full fledged automated CI server, which is what most people need.
